About 10 years ago in Las Vegas I remember watching a 3D Star Trek short that included puffs of air in the face (very jolting the first time it happened -- lots of "yipes" in the audience) and seat rumblings and manipulations. It was a very entertaining 10 minutes or so.

A year or so later the entire Star Trek themed section of that hotel was dismantled.

Seat rumblings and manipulations are a regular feature in the theaters I frequent.

Sounds similar to Soaring over California in Disney's CA adventure. The effects there actually work OK in combination with the fact that you are suspended in front of a very large screen with your feet dangling.

But it'd better be a lot better than a D-Box seat, I felt that was a waste of money the one time I tried it.

This was fine when it was with the kids for 15-minute animated shorts in the theater at LEGOland in Somerville, but there's no way I'd want to replicate the experience for normal theatrical releases. Got wet and cold...

Probably a good idea to avoid eating at Taco Bell before going to the theater.

We have these over here in the UK, and they look bloody ridiculous. At the moment there's only a few cinemas that have them, and it's actually only a few chairs near the front of a whole auditorium of normal seats, full of people just trying to watch the movie while some idiots get thrown around in front of you in noisy, moving seats that are nothing but a distraction to everyone else.

Cineworld have this notion that they're at the forefront of cinema-going innovation, which used to include getting one poor member of staff to come in during the trailers and make like a chat show host, telling everyone about upcoming movies, which we wo;uld have found out about by watching the trailers anyway.

Seriously, they haven't got a clue. people want to go to the movies to watch a movie and get annoyed by the twat eating nachos in the third row.

Assuming the 4th dimension is time, movies are already in 4D. They have been since 3D become common. Movies have always existed in dimensions 1, 2 and 4, but not 3. By adding the third dimension, they become 4D.

This is why I go to the crappy movie theater. You can show up 15 mins before the most popular movie, sit anywhere you want, BYOB, and tickets are like 9 dollars instead of 22. The food they serve at the fancy ones is gross, too. Popcorn and candy are good everywhere.

We have a chain theater that has $4 matinees that start at 11 am - 1 pm I believe. If you dont mind a movie that early it is great. I think the concessions sans beer are open. Frankly I dont know why they would even bother to open the theater that early.
